GAFFNEY, S. TUESDAY, JULY 25,

1140 A YEAR.
TO BE MADE BY THE DISPENSARY
COMMITTEE.
Chief Justice Pope Ordered Farnum to
Give Up Papers Which Will Aid
Investigation, But He Refused.
Columbia, July 22.—Before Chief
Justice Pone next Friday, Mr. J. S.
Farnum has been ordered to appear
and show cause why he should not be
compelled to turn over a large number
of papers of importance to the dispen
sary investigating committee. Messrs.
Lyons and Christensen, of a sub-com
mittee, have filed affidavits with the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
stating that Mr. Farnum has papers
that will throw light on some of the
facts they now seek, it is alleged that
Mr. Farnum has in his possession let
ters written to retail dispensers tell
ing them to push certain brands of
goods and also has letters from certain
people prominent in the dispensary
that are incriminating.
He naturally resisted giving these
papers up and the order was neces
sary. The sub-committee claims that
it has already a number of papers of
incriminating character and they de
sire the rest and in the meantime Far
num has engaged two of the ablest
lawyers in the State re represent him
before the chief Justice. If the chief
justice orders the papers made public a
sensation is promised. Farnum is a
peculiar study. Originally from Geor
gia. he went west and engaged in busi
ness there, finally coining back and
holding an interest in the Richland
Distilling company, which concern is
selling the dispensary large supplies of
liquor and is now threatened with i jority.
scandal. When he went to Charleston !
he had the county board of that sec-1
tion in his hand and they at once J
elected him county dispenser in order
that he might run tho Germania Brow
ing company. Some enemy, however,
raised the point that he was not a cit
izen of this State as he had not re
sided here the required length of time.
He deliberately waited until he had
lived here long enough and was then
elected without trouble. Since then
he has been regarded as one of the
dictators of the policy of the men who
control the dispensary situation in
tills State. It is predicted, however,
that his career is short.
OTTO SUMMEY IS A FREE MAN.
Acquitted of Charge of Murdering
Oscar Cureton in Greenville.
Greenville, July 21.—It was not un
til 3:30 o’clock yesterday morning that
the jurors agreed upon the verdict ac
quitting Otto Summey of the indict
ment charging him with murdering
Oscar Cureton. For twelve hours they
argued as to the fate of the prisoner.
Judge Prince went to bed at his room
in the hotel, hut-left orders'for bail
iffs to call him when a verdict was
reached. As soon as Foreman R. G.
McPherson found that the jury had
at last reached a common opinion as
to the Innocence of Summey, he asked
for the presiding judge and shortly
before 4 o’clock Judge Prince came in
to the court room to receive the ver
dict. With him was Solicitor Boggs
for the prosecution, and Alvin H. Dean,
of Cothran, Dean & Cothran, repre
senting the defendant.
The scene was impressive—this
meeting in the dead hours of the night
to hear the fate of a man on trial for
his life. There was no clerk, it not
being necessary to have him present,
and the verdict was read by Solicitor
Boggs. No sooner had the words “not
guilty” been pronounced than Judge
Prince declared the court adjourned
and in a few minutes the officials had
vanished and tho lights were extin-
guished as the day began to dawn. An
order for Summey’s release was signed
and he was soon a free man.
Most people who heard the testi
mony expected .a verdict in a short
time after the jury retired from the
court room and as the hours passed
the wonder increased. There was an
agreement that the hitch should never
be made public, but the secret soon
leaked out that one man was standing
out for manslaughter. The other elev
en, it is said, were for acquittal. He
was determined to bring the other men
on ibe panel over and stood out until
the last when he was finally persuaded
to throw his opinion in with the ma-

THI REAPER AT WORK.
Sad and Pathetic Death of a Young
Woman.
One of the saddest events which
has ever cast a gloom over our little
city and brought sorrow to the hearts
of its citizens was the death of Mrs.
Clarence Jones, which occurred Sun
day morning about one o’clock at her
home on Frederick street.
Mrs. Jones was Miss Florence Wil
son, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. B.
Wilson, of this city, and was only
nineteen years of age. She was mar
ried to Mr. Clarence Jones, of this
place, about one year ago, and they
have since lived happily together in
their little cottage on Frederick street.
She was a sweet and lovable woman,
modest and maidenly in manner, and
was blessed with all the charming
qualities of heart and mind which go
to form the loveliest and noblest being
on earth—a Christian young woman:
and she carried into the home of her
husband the same sunlight and happi
ness which she had diffused through
out her own girlhood home. She was
a faithful and consistent member of
the Methodist church, and died, as she
had lived, true to her faith in the nrom-
ises of Him who doeth all things well,
and in the hope of eternal happiness 1
beyond the grave.
Besides the fond parents, three sis
ters and two brothers, whose hearts
are heavy laden with sorrow, the de-1
ceased leaves a devoted young hus
band to mourn for her: and, what ,
makes the death a particularly sad !
and pathetic one, an infant only a few :
hours old is left motherless.
The funeral service was held at the j
Buford Street Metnodist church, eon-'
ducted hy Rev. J. M .Steadman, pas
tor of the church, and Presiding Elder
Kilgo, and the remains were then tak
en to Oakland cemetery whore they
were consigned to the grave in the
presence of a large gathering of rela
tives and fn» : 'is. The floral offerings
were many ami handsome, and the
grave was liter;.Hy covered with
these last beautiful tributes from lov
ing hearts.
The pall-hearers were: S. Hall.
Arthur Kendrick. Wm. Webstc;. R. S
Lipscomb. J. D. Jones. R. M. Wilkins.

Hon. Ed. Archer, president of the

of all right thinking people for perempt
orily refusing to allow political meas
ures to be discussed in the cotton
growers meeting, and for calling off
any meeting that conducted with a
view of furthering the candidacy of
any political aspirant. Such means a
great deal to this country and if such
measures are adopted by all others the
result will he beneficial to the cause
they wish to promote.
Like the Farmers’ Alliance (if al
lowed to do so) it will be used as a
stepping stone hy some men to get
into office who otherwise could never
have smelled it. Bully for Mr. Archer,
we say. If let alone the farmers and
other industrial classes will attend to

make a great many mistakes either.

i with the rust eating It, no shed over

would vote j it strikes us that the county’s inves*-
the i ment of thousands of dollars is of no
profit. Our suggestion would be to
repaint and overhaul the machinery
and sell it for what we can get for it.
While we doubt not that this ma
chinery is a perfect good road maker,
yet we hardlv think that the county
can successfully operate the machin
ery unless a special levy tax he voted
upon the people. This is the surest
and only wav thpt the people of Cher
